Wolf

I like writing poems about nature at night.

   The wind rattles against

   the hollow trees as they

   whisper my name and 

   reach for me with their

   long twisting arms.

   The moon shines on their

   backs, casting long, bending

   shadows on the frozen

   ground.

   The wolf howls - a silhouette

   against the moon - illuminated

   on top of the hill.

   I turn and run in fear, in fear

   of the dark and the creatures

   it possesses.

I don't know if it is deliberate but the metre reminds me of the old Norse poems
